Born to late to explore the world.

Born to early to explore the cosmos.

Born just in time to finance a pizza from Domino's.

Exploring the ocean is like trying to explore the desert, in the middle of the night, and you just know it's going to be miles and miles of empty sand and you can only see about 4 ft in front of you at any one time.

Exploring the ocean is extremely difficult and to be honest not very rewarding 99% of the time.

Every space age humanity setting starts after WW3. Deal with it.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

What else is going to drive corps to build faster rockets? Without WW3, the profitable strategy is to keep building the same rockets, just cheaper & crappier.

[–] Darkness343@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Just think about the profits that weaponized ftl technology would bring!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Maybe because making they more capable makes them cheaper by an exponential rate?

It was the popularization of the Internet. McNazis, and every other niche group that coagulated in online spaces, are a side effect.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

I am not lovin’ it.

I have never heard this term and immediately love it. Having worked at a McDonald's for a long time, it's the absolute perfect spot for them to meet.

It's Trump’s favorite food, naturally.

This is because he's never developed past an 8-year-old.

[–] linkinkampf19@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

Nice double entendre.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

It was supposed to be nuclear fusion. Cheap plentiful clean power.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It was supposed to be renewable energy, and it almost was until the fascists slammed the brakes.

Cheaper, more plentiful, and cleaner. Plus it doesn't take decades to increase capacity like nuclear does, and it won't become less safe and efficient due to climate change like nuclear is already starting to.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I hope you know there is a difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, because your comment doesn't read like it.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 19 hours ago

Oops, misread as fission lol

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world -2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They both are “just two decades away”. One exists but takes that long to build a plant. The other is still under development and might exist by then.

Although the race for fusion is getting more exciting every day. We may actually see it happen! And it feels like soon!

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Don't talk as if it was ever funded, that's the whole point.

[–] mech@feddit.org 6 points 19 hours ago

Space travel?
Best I can do is a remake of the lead-up to WW2 on top of a remake of WW1.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 18 points 1 day ago

Best we can do is America 2.0 fascist boogaloo

The Chinese were right to say that "living in interesting times" was a curse...

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 20 hours ago

I'm pretty sure that the origin of that curse was the Counterweight Continent, actually 😉

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

That ancient chinese curse.

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

as the curse says, "may you live in interesting times"

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Feel like this image is older than I'd be conformable with.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The thing is... we do have space travel.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 20 hours ago

As a means to extract minerals and in a way to bring more profits and destroy the earth faster yes.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it was never going to be space travel, not this century

probably not the next one either

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, commercial space travel already exists. Just not for the poors. We have to wait for beltalowda.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's not space travel when they barely even leave the atmosphere.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

K

A century is a long fuckin time for technology to remain completely stagnant. I stand by my statement.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 1 points 13 hours ago

And a century is a blip in the face of building a sustainable, long-term habitat anywhere else. So what if we have rockets, there's nowhere to go.
